Unknown:
“Oh, Goddess… Will you please stop? Is this not enough? Your…sister…regrets all she has done. If you look closely at any of Yune’s actions, and their unintended consequences, you will see they were all born of fear. Fear that you would expunge her from yourself. If you would but allow her back within you, this would surely never happen again.”

Ashera:
“Yune is chaos. She is an imperfection in my being. It is because of her that I…I have done this thing that cannot be undone.”

(Image of warring Beorc and Laguz)

Ashera:
“No matter how I admonished you, you would not stop fighting. There was nothing I could do. Every day my beloved children were killed, killed by others of my beloved children. With every death my rage and sorrow grew until I could control myself no longer. My emotions burst forth and I razed the land. Furious storms savaged the heavens, roiling waters rose in tremendous floods. Lives were lost beyond counting.”

(Image of a wasteland)

Ashera:
“I will purge chaos from within myself. Never again will I allow myself to commit such atrocities. I will become a goddess to properly guide and protect my people. I will become perfect.”

Unknown:
“But…to nullify half of your being… We were terribly, monstrously wrong to force you to do this. You shouldn’t have to bear the weight of our foolish actions.”

Yune:
“I…I was just…lonely. My other half spent all her time worrying about the laguz and beorc. She said she was going to erase me. I was…only playing. I never meant to hurt so many.”

Unknown:
“I understand, Yune.”

Yune:
“I won’t do it again. I love all of you, too. I want to be with people. I don’t want to go away. I don’t want to vanish and become nothingness. I want to stay here with all of you.”

Altina:
“…Goddess, I have a suggestion. If we here, of our own will, were to make a pledge to coexist, there would be no need to erase Yune, would there? In which case, we give you our solemn oath: never again will either the laguz or beorc seek the extermination of the other. Soan? Dheginsea? This is agreeable, is it not?”

Ashera:
“I do not accept your pledge.”

Altina:
“Why?”

Ashera:
“I cannot believe you. You are living creatures created in our image. You cannot seal away your instincts with reason. You are like us. You feel profound sorrow, anger, fear… A conflict will surely arise to overwhelm your reason and discipline. You will be unable to master your emotions. And I may once again make the mistakes that have led us here. The only way to prevent this is to expunge chaos completely. Yune must not exist. My decision has not changed.”

Unknown:
“In that case, Goddess… Would you consider an alternative to such drastic measures? We shall use the power of seid magic to seal Yune in this medallion. Someday…and it may be in the far, distant future… Someday we may be able to earn your trust, Goddess. In the hope of that day arriving, refrain from annihilating Yune, please.”

Ashera:
“In my eyes, imprisoning Yune and destroying her are the same thing. …If the chaos and disaster that Yune begets can be averted, I have no objection. I do not know, however, if Yune will submit to such confinement.”

Unknown:
“Goddess Yune? Please hear me. I will never give up. Someday, I will see you restored to yourself. Please…”

Yune:
“…Mm…”

Unknown:
“Do not look so sad. I will always be with you. I will sing to you. You will not be lonely. I promise.”

Yune:
“…Ever since we entered the tower, I’ve strongly sensed Ashera’s presence. More than that, I’ve felt some of her thoughts. Ashera may have changed since before her slumber. That may be the reason why she betrayed her covenant with humans… and turned everyone to stone.”

Ike:
“…”

Yune:
“During the time of our separation, we left behind a powerful influence on each other’s bodies. However, as the years and months passed… Ashera became a being of complete order… Order and chaos are meant to naturally balance each other out. If you take one away, balance is lost. I don’t expect Ashera to have the merest shred of compassion. Talking to her will likely do no good.”

Ike:
“We don’t have much choice. If talking won’t work, we’ll have to use force. Otherwise, this has all been for nothing.”

Yune:
“I guess you’re right… We have no other options.”

Ike:
“How about you?”

Yune:
“What do you mean?”

Ike:
“Are you completely chaotic? You seem fickle to me. There are times when you act childish, but you can also be deadly serious… You may be a goddess, but you always have this kind of tone and attitude. As far as I can tell, you don’t seem to lean too far in either direction.”

Yune:
“Ashera and I see things a little differently… During my long sleep, I was wrapped in sweet, gentle music.”

Ike:
“Heron galdrar?”

Yune:
“Yes, but there was also your mother Elena… and when she passed away, Mist sang for me. Their song didn’t have the same effect as galdrar, but more important than the song itself, I was never alone. There was always someone, singing comfort to me.”

Ike:
“Really?”

Yune:
“Ashera shouldn’t have isolated herself. She became lonely and bitter, and lost touch with her people…”

(Ike tries to open the gate)

Ike:
“Hold on… This thing won’t budge.”

Yune:
“What’s wrong with it?”

???:
“Those doors cannot be opened.”

Sephiran:
“They have been sealed with powerful magic.”

Sanaki:
“Sephiran! You’re all right… I’m so relieved to see you!”

Sephiran:
“I’m sorry to have been a cause for concern, Apostle. Forgive me.”

Sephiran:
“I’ve known that for some time, Sanaki. Don’t forget that I was almost a father to you. It honestly doesn’t make any difference to me whether or not you can hear the goddess.”

Sanaki:
“Sephiran… Th-thank you…for having always been there for me. I have so many words to tell you. I need to tell you everything that’s happened before we got here…”

Sephiran:
“My dear Sanaki, there’s no need to rush. I won’t be leaving your sight any time soon.”

Sanaki:
“Ye-yes, you’re right. So where should I start from…”

Ike:
“Shouldn’t you tell him about General Zelgius?”

Sanaki:
“Ah… Yes…I suppose I should… Sephiran, Zelgius is dead… I know you put a lot of trust in him, but he was also closely allied to Daein. I’m sure you’ve heard of Daein’s so-called Black Knight? Sephiran, the Black Knight was Zelgius.”

Sephiran:
“…”

Ike:
“…But that’s probably not news to you, is it?”

Sephiran:
“He… was an important part of me. Of course I knew about his other identity besides being an imperial soldier.”

Ike:
“After all, it was you he was taking orders from.”

Sanaki:
“Ike? What are you saying?!”

Ike:
“A man like Zelgius could never serve conflicting interests… Never. Everything he did, he did for one master. Isn’t that so, Sephiran?”

Sanaki:
“I think I understand! You wanted to monitor events within Daein! You sent Zelgius as a spy. Please tell me that I’m right!”

Sephiran:
“Precisely. I felt it important to observe King Ashnard carefully… That was my goal.”

Sanaki:
“Aha, I knew that must be the reason!”

Sephiran:
“To hide his true identity, I told Zelgius to wear the black armor and depart for Daein.”

(Image of Zelgius and the Black Knight)

Sephiran:
“At the time, it was relatively easy to get an outsider close to the king. Ashnard was famous for employing powerful men with no regard for their background or social status.”

Ike:
“Obviously, he would have needed no convincing once he saw the bladework of General Zelgius.”

Sephiran:
“…It seems the king knew that the Black Knight was not completely loyal, yet he allowed him to remain by his side. According to Zelgius… Ashnard actually seemed to enjoy leaving a blackheart at his side, so that he would always have the feeling of his life being at risk.”

Sephiran:
“It was mine… I planned to retrieve the medallion and hand it over to King Ashnard.”

Ike:
“Why? What reason would you have for doing that?”

Sanaki:
“You did it to gain the king’s trust, to show that the Black Knight would faithfully follow the king’s orders, right? You never intended on killing Ike’s father… Is that right? Please tell me I’m right, Sephiran!”

Sephiran:
“Lady Sanaki, your theory is half correct… and half incorrect. Sir Ike, I’m afraid your father’s death was an unfortunate result of Zelgius’s own personal agenda. I must admit that I did ask him to seize the medallion and hand it over to King Ashnard, but it was not to gain Ashnard’s trust.”

Sanaki:
“Then why?”

Sephiran:
“Because originally the medallion belonged with me. 23 years ago, I placed it with Princess Lillia of Serenes.”

Sephiran:
“My aim has always been to wake Ashera so that she might pass judgment on all the people of the world. What I needed was a war that would spread all across the continent. How could I achieve this? My attention turned to the young Daein prince… I could use the fiery Ashnard for my purposes. He was ambitious, a fierce warrior, and more than anything, he had an earnest desire to change the world. When I allowed him to know of the goddess sealed inside the medallion, he became determined to set her free. We could use heron galdrar or a massive, continent-spanning war to throw the world into chaos.”

Sanaki:
“Lord Sephiran, what are you saying? Why would you conjure up such a lie? Are you saying you wanted this? You can’t be serious!”

Sephiran:
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Lady Sanaki. To fulfill my ambition of destroying all beings, I had to use you… I had to betray you.”

Sanaki:
“This is some kind of monstrous joke…”

Ike:
“So you’ve been pulling the strings all along?”

Sephiran:
“Correct.”

Ike:
“Beyond just Empress Sanaki, you were trusted by a lot of people. Sephiran, I need to understand… Did you really betray all of those people?”

Sephiran:
“I did.”

Ike:
“I don’t need to hear anything else, then. I’m going to make your death as painful as I know how.”

Ike:
“Sephiran, you are my enemy.”

(If Ike’s Memory Scene in Part 4 Final Chapter-2 was seen)

Ike:
“I don’t get it… Why would you wake the goddess to pass judgment on us? Tell us why! How could you want that?”

Sephiran:
“It wouldn’t make any difference if I told you. You would have to live a few centuries before you could understand.”

Ike:
“Years ago, my father went into hiding with the medallion. At the time, he got help from both you and Zelgius. Does this have anything to do with that?”

Sephiran:
“Hmm, you seem to have sparked a distant memory of mine.”

Ike:
“Answer me. Why did you do this?”

Sephiran:
“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you. At least, not in any way you would understand.”

Ike:
“Then I’ll have to make you talk!”

(End of Ike and Sephiran’s dialogue)

Sanaki:
“Ike, stop it! This can’t be happening! I won’t fight you Sephiran. I can’t!”

Sephiran:
“Poor Sanaki… You’ll have no choice but to fight. The doors leading to Ashera are sealed by my very own magic. Killing me is your only way through.”

[Note: The next few lines are a bit different in the English version]

Sanaki:
“Sephiran…!”

Sephiran:
“You’re running out of time. Just a few more hours and Ashera’s power will reach its peak. Our battle commences now. I should mention that even if you somehow defeat me… there’s no way you can match Ashera… Although since you’ve come this way, you should all enjoy yourselves. Now that my plans have all been revealed… Why don’t we have one final struggle?”

After battle

(Flashback)

[Note: This flashback scene is slightly different in the English version]

Civilian:
“What? It can’t be true! Our apostle…”

Civilian:
“Can’t believe it myself. But the senators made an announcement! It must be true!”

Civilian:
“Yeah, you don’t take blows very well. We just hit you a few times and you drop dead… How can we punish them like this?”

Civilian:
“We can’t let the Apostle’s killers get away so easily… We should torture them, make them bleed until they beg… Then we kill them!”

Lehran:
“…Humans… 350 years still remain. But there is no need to continue waiting. This world does not need beorc. And neither does it need laguz…Both are deeply flawed. Please awaken! Oh, Goddess. Awaken…and judge.”

Yune:
“Micaiah is completely spent. She’s sorry, but she won’t be able to fight in the next battle. But there’s no time. Hurry!”

Sanaki:
“Goddess Yune. Is there something you haven’t told us about you and Sephiran?”

Yune:
“He saved my life.”

Sanaki:
“Y-your life? Sephiran saved the life of a goddess? Is there something you haven’t told us about Sephiran, then?”

Yune:
“He’ll wake up in just a moment. Then you can ask him directly.”

Sanaki:
“Oh. All right, I’ll do that”

Ike:
“Why did you save him?”

Yune:
“Should I not have?”

Ike:
“I can think of a few reasons why you shouldn’t have, yes!”

(Ike moves towards Sephiran)

Ike:
“Hey! Get up. Now.”

Yune:
“Take it easy on him! He’s had a hard day!”

Sephiran:
“…ung… …hhhuuunnn…. I… I’m alive?”

Yune:
“Lehran!”

Sephiran:
“Goddess Yune… Why? Why did you–“

Yune:
“Because I want you to live! We haven’t even accomplished anything yet, and I couldn’t bear it if it ended like this.”

Sephiran:
“But…I’ve lost all my hope. All hope in the world and the people in it… Please, Yune, let me die.”

Yune:
“I won’t, Lehran. I won’t!”

Ike:
“Lehran? Now he’s some kind of hero-saint?”

Sephiran:
“…”

Ike:
“If death is what you really want, then I’m not going to let it happen on my watch. I don’t care what you’ve gone through. I don’t care how much you’ve suffered. What you’ve done is unforgivable.”

Yune:
“Stop it, Ike!”

Sephiran:
“…”

Ike:
“Ashera is waiting. It’s time for the final confrontation with her. You can come… If you want to.”

Sephiran:
“You… You’re asking me to turn my back on goddess Ashera?”

Ike:
“If you really want the total extinction of beorc and laguz alike, then you can just lie here like a lump. If not, this is your last chance to start rectifying your mistakes. Think hard on that.”
